Why we launched Denmark’s second Young Academy (and what’s different about it)
YATSI aims to represent scientists based in academia and in industry, and to build bridges between the two sectors.

Our new study in @science.org shows that over half of forests have become more fragmented since 2000, threatening biodiversity and climate.
Brilliantly led by @yibiaozou.bsky.social as part of his PhD — and a huge team effort from @crowtherlab.bsky.social 👏

Good insight here about interdisciplinarity. It's not just getting people from the right fields in the same room; it's about getting the right people, those who are honestly open to learning about the questions and methods of other fields. (Something @sfiscience.bsky.social is so good at.)
